DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP12–521–000] 

Jo-Carroll Energy, Inc.; Notice of 

Application 

Take notice that on September 12, 

2012, Jo-Carroll Energy, Inc. (NFP) (JCE) 

793 U.S. Route 20 West, Elizabeth, 

Illinois 61028, filed in Docket No. 

CP12–521–000, an application pursuant 

to section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), as amended, requesting to 

amend its present service area 

determination 1 within which JCE may, 

without further Commission 

authorization, enlarge or expand its 

natural gas distribution facilities. JCE 

also requests for a continuation of the: 

(i) Waiver of the Commission’s 

accounting and reporting requirements 

and other regulatory requirements 

ordinarily applicable to natural gas 

companies under the NGA and the 

NGPA; (ii) pregranted abandonment of 

this service; and (iii) such further relief 

the Commission may deem appropriate, 

all as more fully set forth in the 

application, which is on file with the 

Commission and open to the public for 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the Web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Enter the docket number excluding the 

last three digits in the docket number 

field to access the document. For 

assistance, contact FERC at

JCE proposes to retroactively acquire 

1.3 miles of 8-inch diameter pipeline 

from Northern Natural Gas Company 

(Northern) and a related pressure 

regulating station that would extend the 

3,800 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline 

that is presently included in the Jackson 

County, Iowa, portion of JCE’s prior 

service area determination. JCE states 

that it acquired the facilities from 

Northern on January 30, 2012, because 

the Iowa Utility Board (IUB) requested 

that JCE install new odorization 

equipment on its existing facilities to 

comply with IUB pipeline safety 

regulations. JCE also states that prior to 

January 30, 2012, the ownership 

demarcation point between Northern 

and JCE was in the middle of the 

Mississippi River, making JCE’s 

facilities inaccessible for installing the 

required odorization equipment. JCE 

further states that its acquisition of the 

new facilities would not increase JCE’s 

ability to serve customers either inside 

or outside of its present service area 

determination. Finally, JCE asserts that 

the sole reason it seeks to amend its 

service area determination is that the 

newly acquired facilities appear to fall 

outside of the very limited service area 

determination in Iowa that the 

Commission previously authorized in 

2006. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

Comments, protests and interventions 

may be filed electronically via the 

Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 

on the Commission’s Web site under the 

‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
